Wildlife Products May Finance Terrorism - U.S Officials

ABC News - Federal officials says the U.S. government is cracking down on the
illegal trafficking of wild animal products across borders — especially
through New York's Kennedy Airport, where some of the imports may be
linked to terrorists.

Froman says such trade is a threat to global security because it's
driven by criminal elements. He says some terrorist groups have used
profits from items such as rhinoceros horns and elephant tusks to
finance their activities.

On display was a collection of wildlife products seized at Kennedy. They
ranged from ivory disguised in a wooden statue to the stuffed head of a
lion.

The single priciest item was a rhino horn. They can fetch $30,000 per pound.
